In the Blackmnilor's Tolls,

IS .
A married woman Of Pittsburgh was
seen bya man Of her acquaintance walk
ing with another man and woman. L The
party Of the fourth part threatened to tell
tbs married woman's husband and make
trouble if she did, not give him some
change. The. fellow got twenty-five cent?.
Then he had tho woman in his power.
There we're otherl demands, until the
sums giveniamounted to about SIS. S
The vito could bear the strain no longer.
She told her husband. She had been
guilty Of no wrong except submitting to
blackmail in tho fear that the blackmsiler
would toll hor husband q lie and make
him doubt her. Husband and wife went
together and swore out a warrant ior the
blackmailer's arrest.
Everybody knows what the wife ought
to haye done in the beginning-told her
husband and handed the blackmailer
over to the law. But tho woman did
what many another innocent person has
dono for fear Of being dragged into scan an
dial. Then she NODDED money to satisfy
tho demands, and she had to deceive and
wrong her husband to got it.
There is but one safe course for hus.
band or wife-full confidence and no
secrets. This does not mean, Of course,
that a man must tell his wife, or tho wife
her; husband secrets conaded by other
people. It means that they arc to have
no secrets Of their own to keep from
each other. & ,l 95S
